WP#1 - N 45° 28.381 W 075° 31.300
RC Parish St Joseph d'Orléans


The church was completed in 1920. It took the place of the original much smaller building erected shortly after the founding of the parish, which celebrated its 150th in 2010. A major renovation took place after the Second Vatican Council and the colourful stained glass windows are from the last 20 years. The parish is home for the largest French congregation in the Archdiocese of Ottawa. The style of the building is similar to several Francophone churches in the area.

ABCD = the date on the statue of St Joseph
